I haven't used him for a car accident specifically, but he helped my dad with a complex property dispute a while back. He was super communicative and didn't nickel and dime us for every 5-minute phone call. Definitely worth a free consultation to see if you vibe with him.

Seen it happen with cheap fixtures. The seals go bad and they start dripping, which leaves those perfect round marks. Check for any slow leaks under sinks or behind toilets first. A single drip in the right spot can make it look like multiple new problems.

Same here, started cutting my climbing ropes after a close call. Found a core that was almost gone even though the sheath looked perfect. It takes a few minutes and costs you some rope, but it's cheap insurance. Now I just plan for it and buy a little extra length. That peace of mind is worth way more than the few feet you lose.
